| I visited Imran where in Kadapa where his family now live and he studies engineering. He took me to visit two nearby churches where it was assumed I am a missionary from the London Mission. Next day we went for a bike ride (motorbike) with friends Moiz and Bukhari to a ruined fort/palace of the emperor Tippu Sultan (18th Century) beside a lake. This was planned by Imran so that I could take pictures of waterbirds, but he forgot it was summer so it was completely dry. | |

| It would have been perfect if the reflections really did indicate a big cool pool. | |
